Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann Feb 22, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Communication with our host, Paula, was great. She was always quick to reply provided helpful information. The cottage is very close to restaurants and shops so we could walk to these amenities. The cottage was very clean and tidy upon our arrival. We could stargaze from the back deck and we loved the fleece blankets that were provided for this purpose. Overall, a great place to stay. ##### Ann Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026
